    Yaaaawn! I have just awoken from my slumber!

    What's that funny smell? Hmmmmm? I know! It's COFFEE!!!!
  • Check Mouseprice website to see the real size of property and the real evaluation price which is £158,100. A huge difference from their own estimate. Can't believe this couple are still claiming the property is theirs. What a nerve!

    Still, must be great having advertisers pay your debts while you sit there and lie to the general public. They could get normal jobs like the rest of us hardworking folk but they are above all that apparently. 4 failed businesses should tell them they are useless at being self-employed and, Michelle didn't know about having a CCJ?? Are you kidding me?? Pretty hard to miss a county court letter or two through the letterbox.

    Hi all
    Just a few words to let you know everything is going well.
    As you know now we have a team of people working with us but we realised you might have wondered why it is still taking time it/s because (we forgot to tell you) that these people all have their own business to run and are doing this in between work, but as i say things are progressing well
    Thanking you all sincerely for supporting us and assuring you there will be a successful winner of a house in the location of the winners choice.
    Hoping you are all well
    Keeping this short as much to do so must be off now
    Kind regards Michelle and Paul

    The latest update (dated 28th December):

    Hi to everyone
    First our sincere apologies for so long between messages
    I have been intending to post a brief update for the past two weeks but am working non stop literally, no 5 minute breaks eating nuts fruit and begrudgingly eating fast junk food as we work
    We are again working from 5 / 6 in the morning until late evening the time being split between winahouse and earning a meager crust to stave of the baying wolves
    We still cannot give a relaunch time as two weeks ago we (the coder) had a hitch on the technical side which has not been resolved but is being attended to asap.and we are still (with our team who also have their own business to attend to ) much to do and finalise
    All aspects from our point of view still absolutely show only the potential of a truly positive outcome and we assure you this is what will happen.
    It is beyond belief what we have had to deal with an addition to work and winahouse since launching this competition, all non-winahouse-related and any one of the issues would have made most others crumble, but the number of issues from, lets say for now... (all will be told after the relaunch).... 'suited and other bounders' is beyond belief.
    The most recent has actually caused tremendous health issues but we have to push that to one side (paul has been in exrutiating pain for the past two weeks even pain killers not helping but has had to work but we know how fortunate we are as there are always, always, millions of people out there with more serious issues and no apparant foreseeable light at the end of the tunnel so heres blessing them all with faith and positivity
    So once again vagueness, most of you know why so we wont go into more negativity. I am not even going to mention this time , as i have in the past, other, now successful, stories of people who took long lengths of time to get launched, established but became successful, but have been, and still will when time permits keep, compiling a list that of mostly household names that took, often, years so that it might give others inspiration to have faith and keep focused on their vision as it will come to fruition with faith.
    Also I have mentioned before that after we have relaunched will be also posting valuable info to help others who have gone through what we have had to go through ( the afore-referred to issues above) but currently havent the time to organise this but it will be valuable info.
    And finally for now just to say we absolutely will still keep the daily temporary question going, it's your choice whether to take advantage of this opportunity, all your other entries are still valid if you dont and you obtain more advantages if you do and finally everyone who has supported us by entering through this postponed period will be rewarded when we relaunch.
    Will aim to do another update in two weeks as expecting positive results by then
    In the meantime sincerely blessing you all, and everyone, with love and faith and happiness.
    Kindest regards Michelle and Pau

    And another update:

    Hi to everyone
    First thanks for all your patience those of you still entering the temporary daily entry route.
    I assure you every single entry will be eligible for entry into the weekly
    draws as the first competition will be specially amended (as is legally permitted)
    to allow for this so your patience will have benefits for you, oh and a special benefit to you all but that’s a secret until re-launch.
    Of course as with the actual competition you don’t have to enter
    every single temporary daily route this just UPS your chances you can still come and go as you choose. And remember the competitions
    on re-launch will be for houses in the location of your choice.
    Right we still don’t know how long its going to be before we launch the new streamlined swifter version but just know it IS GOING TO BE,THAT! we are DETERMINED and CONFIDENT of We are working as usual from 6.30 in the morning until again late at night but as I have said before this is split between working on the competition, working on feeding the baying and not abating wolves and overcoming a number of what seemed like an endless stream of not sure if entirely natural adversities in an apparently (don’t have time to read the news) still declining economy but we will get there. This past month was extremely testing but I am making a log of events and will post the details on the new site for you all to understand
    why its taken such time.Not sure if I have told you before but this company https://www.drinksin.com apparently took two years to get launched and had a team of if I remember rightly (it’s on their site or in some article somewhere on the net) 4 experts the two founders and two other, or perhaps it was just the two founders so our length of time is not at all unusual and actually quite commonplace if you check out these links below.

    These are links to article about many famous people and companies that, were either rejected numerous times or took much longer than ourselves to get to market and I read somewhere that Rachel Elnaugh Ex of Dragons Den launched Red Letter days and took 18 months to make a sale and worked as an accountant at the same time, my whole point here being whilst it might seem like its taking ages to you all the time is flying by for us with not enough hours in the day but time is definitely not an indication of anything other than a period of often merely-frustrating obstacles. We have as have numerous others total faith this will not only happen but be a success.
    We have in the past with a previous venture attracted the attention of a world leading venture capitalist who called us we have also had an idea of ours used by a world leading production company,
    would you believe the cheeky bounders did this without permission but a letter explaining legal liabilities very quickly put paid to that.
    So again my point being that we are not nutters, know our capabilities, know the value of our ideas, know who we need to make this happen, know our market and product and KNOW that we WILL be re-launched with a much more streamlined, successful ongoing site.
    In fact to all of you reading this don’t EVER let people tell you, you can’t, be or do whatever you want, unless of course YOU BELIEVE that, as to quote Henry Ford
    ‘Whether YOU THINK you can or YOU THINK you can’t YOU’RE RIGHT’
    It’s never too late to do what you want IF you really want, we have a friend who’s ready to leave his job as a forklift truck driver to become self employed at the age of 50 he doesn’t see obstacles he sees the future he‘s always dreamed of.
    So check out these links where you will find that when Jimi Hendrix supported
    The Monkees he was booed off of stage, where one of Stephen King’s many rejection letters informed him
    ‘We are not interested in science fiction which deals with negative utopias.
    They do not sell..
    See how Thomas Edison’s teachers thought him "too stupid to learn anything."
    and according to one publisher, The Diary of Anne Frank was scarcely worth reading
    So again the point being as it’s not what others think it’s what WE KNOW that matters to us, oh! and we need the job with a guaranteed income ASAP
    So thank you all for your ongoing patience you are truly appreciated and will be all offered a little reward. Will keep you updated bye for now

    Kindest regards Michelle and Paul
